Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 369

THEJackSparrow | Posted 9/26/2006 4:24:44 PM | message detail
GameFAQs isn't big on fighting games, yet you think Kasumi losing to Roll is completely out of the question?

Unless Yuna destroys Chun-Li (as in, as badly as Bowser beat her), it ain't happening.

I feel very compelled to vote for Lara Croft with that picture.

Come now ulti, you can't be that dense

Big ******* Gun Factor
The n00b Avenger | Posted 9/26/2006 4:35:08 PM | message detail
Even if Yuna beat Chun-Li by about as much as Bowser did, in the x-stats that would still put Kasumi with a slight edge over Roll O_o

Doubling her would make them about equal in the stats.

....yeah

One close-up view of a pistol and your calling this match over? Hardly. Alyx is more recognizable then Lara "Look at my (real) guns" Croft in the picture.

Lara's new game -- Tomb Raider Legends -- sold extremely well, too. I hadn't realized it until I just checked up on it, but the game sold 2.6 million copies in five weeks. She should get a nice boost from that.

Not at all. Alyx looks like a generic nobody. Lara looks badass and clearly recognizable.

You're overrating the hate factor here. Lara Croft still DID win matches in 2002 despite being hated. She won't lose to just ANYONE.

Heroic Mario | Posted 9/26/2006 4:45:45 PM | message detail
I'm not saying that she will not be fodder, but this is the first game she'll have had released in about six years, I think. It selling extremely well and being given plenty of high scores and released across all the major platforms can only help. No way she doesn't get a boost from something like that. It'd be silly to think she doesn't.

Well the last "old game" she had that didn't completely suck was back in 1997 or 1998.

I mean, look at Gordon. He was terrible in the first contests because his last game was around that time. A new fresh game with him and whoopie-doo above the fodder line.

Now, the new Tomb Raider game surely ain't no Half-Life 2, but considering Gordon's monsterous jump it doesn't really need to be.

Alyx is probably more popular in HL2 then Gordon is.

Plus, HL2:E1 just came out not to long ago, where she's visible throughout the entire game.

well to me it's like Madden - it can sell 7 million copies but it's still going to get blown out by 90% of the games out there. granted TR hasn't had a release in some time, but I don't think it's going to make -that- much of a difference. I think Lara doubles up Alyx regardless.
---
xyzzy
XxSoulxX | Posted 9/26/2006 4:50:48 PM | message detail
I never said she was more popular then him. She's definitely more popular in HL2:E1, and has a chance to be in HL2. Gordon still has HL1 to back him up, plus the other two which will definitely make him stronger.

Well, Madden and Tomb Raider are two entirely different things. TR games generally sell well, yes, but it's hard to recall the last Tomb Raider game in recent memory that was good. Legends kind of takes care of that for her. It's not like she needs it, but I don't see how you couldn't expect a boost out of Lara from that game. It's not going to take much to boost her. A new good game is all that she needs.

That game will only stop the bleeding. I expect her to land around her 2004 number.

Even if that were the case, it's still much higher than Alyx will be.

Still more than enough to beat Alyx. Lara wasn't that far from Sam Fisher, who beat Gordon that year.

So if Lara doubles Alyx, will you assume that Lara is still at her 2004 value and that Alyx is one of the biggest piece of craps ever?

I'm not really sure what to make of Lara/Alyx (besides that Lara's the winner). She couldn't blow out Chop Chop Master Onion back in 2k2. I do think Alyx would be stronger than him, but is Lara still as hated as she used to be?

Not that it matters. Chun Li's kicking her ass next round.

XxSoulxX | Posted 9/26/2006 4:59:15 PM | message detail
Look at Gordon's 2005 number. He most likely boosted from Episode 1, so he could be even stronger then that.

Lara fell like a rock. Her 2004 number is legit, and she probably fell even more in 2005 (no proof). I believe Legend brought her back up to her 2004 level.

Gordon would beat her with a little bit more then 67%, not including a HL2:E1 boost. Alyx could pretty safely fall somewhere in there.

Anyway, I hope Kasumi gets this under 68%...

I cursed Kasumi, so I'm afraid it won't happen. =p (see the spread betting topic of Chun Li/Kasumi)

Alyx Vance's sole purpose in this contest is to keep the universe from imploding by losing for Gordon Freeman.

The puzzle has been solved!
